I've recently gotten [url=http://code.google.com/p/zscreen/]ZScreen[/url] and it has some massive performance issues that keep me from getting decent response times.
Is there an alternative screen capture program i can get that also has custom upload options?
I second this, the startup time is bullshit.
I have zero issues, it is a fantastic program that lets me capture exactly what I want when I want it.
aaaaa I solved the problem, Turn off "Windows 7 taskbar integration" and "Show main window in taskbar".
Now ZScreen works great.

I left mine at default and never had any problems with performance. Using the latest beta as well.
I tried what that other guy said and it still takes nine years to start up.

Nine years? Pfft, sometimes I start it, forget I started it, and it scares the shit out of me when it finally appears.

One time I started zscreen at 11:59 and it took until the next day to start

Fuck that, I started it on the 31st of December, it took until the next year to start!!
Looking at it, looks like one of the reasons ZScreen is so slow is because it uses automatic XML serialization.
[code]XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(XMLSettings), TextUploader.Types.ToArray());
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read))
{
return xs.Deserialize(fs) as XMLSettings; // a decent majority of time booting is wasted on this line right here
}[/code]
Some normal reasons too, like google translate, but that's run in another thread. That said, ZScreen boots in a handful of seconds for me which isn't bad.

It's also what takes up time during exit.

Another major issue is just how many controls the main window loads. 47.5% of time is spent on the constructor, mostly because there are so many controls it needs to load. Here's some examples to illustrate that.

And zoomed out.

Use Gyazo if all you want is to grab part of the screen and upload.

ZSscreen refuses to work with my FTP. Worked fine before but not anymore.

I just downloaded the new beta (was using beta 2) and it works for me.

I like Jing but it's way too bloated and startup time is also terrible
